Q&A Slumdog millionaire blog #1

In the prologue of "Q&A Slumdog millionaire" the author (Vikas Swarup) introduces the protagonist of the novel, Ram Mohammad Thomas. Ram is just an ordinary under-classed kid who works at a restaurant in Dharavi, but when he answered all twelve questions correctly on TV's Who Will Win a Billion? People such as the cops were suspicious about it, but mostly because he has never gone to school and has never read a newspaper. What happened during one night, was that cops broke into his door and arrested him for winning a quiz show and was taken away into a police station. Even though he was screaming and kicking for help, no one had helped him because they also thought he didn't deserve all the money from the quiz show. To be honest, they should have been more considerate and asked him questions without having to do it physically and assuming that he just cheated to win. Although Dharavi is a pretty strict country in my opinion just because someone won and their considered as under-classed, doesn't mean they cheated. I believe that Ram is just gifted and no luck or cheating was needed to win the quiz show. Also Johnson, one of the cops say that apparently the show is suppose to be scripted and they were expecting that no one would win W3B within eight months but suddenly Ram surprised them and won. So the show company's investments and ad revenues were corrupted because Ram ruined their plan. Also, I find it interesting that Ram does not say anything to protest his innocents, otherwise the cops might have been even more suspicious about it. Other characters that were in the prologue are: The Commissioner, Nanda, Johnson, Billy and Godbole. At first, the Commissioner had a doubt that Ram cheated to win, because he talked about Einstein coming from a poor background and being a high-school drop-out also. Then Nanda thought of an idea to prove that Ram is no Einstein by asking him to answer four more questions in another mini quiz. He answered all four wrong, but even when he did, they had no proof of evidence that he cheated. It really surprised me when Ram was saved by a lawyer named Smita Shah who after asks him about how he won, but tries to get answers without having to force him to speak up. Although, he flipped a coin and it landed on heads so he told her he won it by luck.
